Multi-Drive Enclosure

A common use for multi-drive enclosures is to install several internal drives and connect them into a redundant array of independent disks—or RAID—to boost performance and provide an added level of security and redundancy. Organizations may also set up a multi-drive enclosure with one internal drive used for archival files, one for the startup drive, and one for a backup drive. As a portable external drive, multi-drive enclosures make it easy to transfer files between computers.

An enclosure is suitable for storing the latest solid-state internal hard drives as well as traditional drives that use spinning disc technology. Multi-drive enclosures are available in many different shapes and sizes, so it's important to choose one that fits your needs.

What Is the Right Multi-drive Enclosure for Your Organization from Connection?

Depending on the need of you and your organization, your options include the number of bays to store each internal drive, the type of storage controller used, chassis style (the frame of the enclosure itself), and the type of connectivity you desire.

It’s important to consider the size and power consumption of each drive before choosing an enclosure. It’s also vital to avoid overcrowding your data center by choosing an enclosure that can hold enough drives so it can continue to address all your storage as your business scales.

Choosing to invest in either one or more multi-drive enclosures for your organization gives you the benefit and flexibility to add additional backup capacity quickly and efficiently—without having to swap out older and serviceable internal drives.

Connection provides an array of multi-drive enclosures made by the best manufacturers on the market. We can help you find the right enclosure that will maximize not only the storage and security of your data but also the productivity of your entire team.
